In The Air Tonight (2001): Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
Lil’ Kim ft. Phil Collins
“In The Air Tonight”
Urban Renewal
WEA

“Snake” (2003): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Snake”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
I guess the ghetto-ness of songs like “Ignition (Remix)” and “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” were beginning to run dry for R. Kelly so now he’s decided to depart from his ghetto ways and do something out of the ordinary, taking a page from Mystikal’s “Danger” video …
The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Axis: Bold As Love

ReJoyce by Jessica Simpson Christmas CD

Fulltone OCD Overdrive Pedal
The Fulltone OCD is an overdrive pedal in the same mold as a Boss Bluesdriver or an Ibanez Tubescreamer. Every fulltone pedal is made by hand, and therefore expensive, but the quality is always worth it.

Nightwish - The Poet and The Pendulum
Without a doubt Tuomas Holopainen adores the same dark playfulness of a Danny Elfman score as I do. Many people debate the creditability of Nightwish’s new album “Dark Passion Play” and the band’s new singer Anette Olzon. I believe if people …
The Flaming Lips - What A Wonderful World (Song)
(What A) Wonderful World is a song by The Flaming Lips and the tenth song on their fourth release, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Opening up with a melodic guitar pattern, Coyne comes in with the iconic vocal melody for this cover in a slightly broken manner which works …
